DENISTON', GEORGE C. PROSSER, AND JOHNSON J. DENISTON,OF TORREY, NEW YORK.

Letters Patent No. 93,861, dated August v17, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that we, THEoDoRE F. DEnrsroN GEORGE C. PRossER, and JOHNSON J.1)nN1sTo'N, of the town of Torrey, in the county of Yates, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful GiderMill and Press; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exaet'description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters of referplatform composed of horizontal beams g, with crosspieces'a a a, and attached to this are perpendicular supporting-beams c b b, as shown in Vthe accompanying drawings, fig. l, which compose the flame-work of our machine.

lVe construct at an angle of about forty-five degrees, two projecting pieces, e e, fig. 2, inwhich work three or more rollers, fff.

Above the supporting-beams b b, we arrange a. hopper, a', of 'any convenient size, supported by crosspieces 1l, el', and a.

This 'receptacle or hopper is open at the top for thel admission of fruits, 85e.

Working in the lower part of said .hopper is a revolving cylinder, 7.', with teethv inserted on its periph-A ery, and diagonal to this is-'a revolving feeder, m, which is operated by means of a band from the driving and pulley-wheels l g n.

Between the upright supporting-beams b, we affix two rollers, 2 2, the lower one made to revolve by means of the driving-wheel and pulleys before mentioned.

Upon the opposite end of said roller, working outside of the opposite beams b, weax or attach a pulley with cog-wheel n, as seen in iig. 2. u lDirectly above the stationary pressure-roller-we arrange a rollerbf similar construction,- said roller being adjustable by means of the. journal and screwgauge `We construct, alittle above a line parallel to the centrev of the axis of the upper roller, a primary roller,

2, working in supports, and adjusted either near or away from the rollers by the screwfw and nut o, which' regulates the apron.

yWe will now explain the use and operation of our machine.

Vhen the driving-wheel 2 is turned by means of the pulley g and rn., and bands operating, apples, grapes, or other fruits are then thrown into the hopper t, and

'as the toothed cylinder k is turned, the fruit is forced between theside ofthe hopper by the feeding-roller and the crushing-cylinder It.

The fruit is` then reduced to pomaee, and falls upon'y the receiving apron, and is forced between the press nre-rollers 2 2. The juice ,expressed runs down into j a box or any convenient receptacle placed to receive it. After the pomaee has passed between the rol1ers,'it

is carried bythe 'apron over the rollers fff to the end of the machnefand then drops upon the ground, or if desired, into a convenient receptacle placed to receive it.

lhat we claim', and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

lhe cider and wine-mill herein deseribed,.consisting of the frame ay b c d e, hopper x, with its feeder m, and grinding-cylinder k, endless apron q, crushingrollers 22, the upper one having a Abearimg adjustable by set-screw t, and pulley 1, adjusted by nut andl screw t' w, all constructed, arranged, and operated as and for the purposes herein set forth.
